SIDNEY POST Obituary

POST, Sidney Formerly of Winthrop and Providence, RI, died peacefully at home on March 28th in Delray Beach, FL at the age of 100. He is survived by his sons Larry (Valerie) and Stuart (Christopher Kelley); three grandchildren, Jason, Samantha and Alexandra Post; and two great-grandchildren, James and Charlotte Post. He was predeceased by his wife of 50 years, Phyllis (Kaufman), and companion of 13 years, Jacqueline Silverman. A Petty Officer Second Class in the Navy Seabees during World War II, he was stationed on Okinawa Island during the Pacific Campaign. Sid spent most of his working life as a child portrait photographer. He loved sailing in Boston Harbor, body surfing at Narragansett Pier, and stuffed cabbage. Special thanks to Irene Marin, who made his last years so peaceful. He was curious, cheerful, never afraid to ask any questions, or give his opinion. He was always up for anything and we'll miss him.
